RE: Why I can't use stabilizer jacks to level TT???
Ummmm... they're called stabilizing jacks, NOT leveling jacks for the reasons mentioned above - frame twist.

RE: Parking Travel Trailer in Yard
I'm a bit frightened by your bit about "all jacks down". I would definitely NOT put all jacks down for storage. Wheels sinking into the ground with jacks down could bend frame (not good). I store on 2x12's but JACKS UP!!!

RE: Reciever Hitch Cover?
I put a throw away clear plastic cup over the balland tie a WalMart bag over that. The cup lets me reuse the baggy several times.

RE: Running an RV refridgerator with an inverter?
I put an inverter in my Prowler for the fridge as you MUST turn of propane on the ferries. I wired it with 8 guage wire and kept it close to the batteries.

RE: Coleman?
Reminiscing about Coleman is a real trip down memory lane. Too bad such a good name now imports junk.
My other car is an American made Buick.

Hey Mysusie...
If you folks want to head toward the Olympic Penninsula, email me here or at home at dlindner@olypen.com. We have several WONDERFUL (and reasonably cheap) places with awesome surroundings pretty close to home.

RE: OK to leave windows open while travelling?
I agree with NOT pulling with windows open. Aerodynamics play into the equation heavily. If windows/vents open caused POSITIVE pressure in the rig, maybe okay. But if negative you are sucking all that gunk into your trailer. I know of no good way to measure it. Can also effect holding tank venting (like to the inside - yukkk!).
So I close it up pretty tight going down the road and open everything up and turn on the vent fan after we get there.

RE: bought an ice maker
Seems like a bit of an endulgance, but in my heart of hearts I envy you. I think it's a great idea because we use so much ice.

We are on our fifth trailer, and we have concluded that trailer beds are designed by people who have never made one:)

RE: Travel Trailer for Aussie
We lived for a year in Australia (Sydney)and loved Perth. We have a Bigfoot and it's construction is very solid and it is truly a four season trailer (as in comfy when it's hot outside). And it will handle the UV.

RE: Electrical
You cannot "boost" a 15 amp circuit. It's probably delivering even less than 15 amp. Ohm's law, E=I*R says you are UNABLE to run your AC unit. Period. No free lunch.

RE: Coffee Maker
Like AlanB says, or to repeat Watts = amp times volts. Therefore, 600 watts at 120 volts, draws 5 amps. An inverter drawing 12 volts to deliver 600 watts = 600 / 12 = 50 amps.
Ain't no free lunch. A watt is a watt is a watt, regardless of the voltage.
